What Are Your Options If You Were Disinherited?
Or you might be wondering about disinheritance from the flip side of the coin. If you were the one disinherited, you might have a few options:

If you are a disinherited spouse, your state’s laws might protect you (see above).
If you are a disinherited child, you’re likely out of luck, except in a few narrow situations (see above), or if you can make the case that you were accidentally left off the will.
You might also be able to challenge a will on a few other legal grounds, such as that the will maker was not of sound mind. But it’s very hard to successfully contest a will. Also beware that if the will contains a no-contest clause, you might risk losing any inheritance left to you if you do challenge the will.

EVEN MORE IMPORTANT: WHO IS THE EXECUTOR???

MY brother made decisions without some of us even knowing-—and he was always the winner in every decision.I WILL NEVER FORGIVE HIM. HE is specifically written out of my will—NOT even a dollar.
